How can DuPont help?

Across many industries, workers face potential hazards on a daily basis, which without the correct protection, could result in serious injury or fatality. Keeping workers safe must always be a priority. If you are the Safety Manager or lead a team of workers that might face heat and flame or electric arc hazard, you are ultimately responsible for specifying the correct protective garment. This is a challenging task, but we are here to support you in the process.
